But again: you're missing the big point. Why spend all these resources on DRM to prevent piracy when it doesn't prevent piracy?

Because it does prevent large scale casual sharing between friends and associates. This was dealt with at length in the Other Thread, so please reread that if you need a refresher.
If you can't come up with a better answer , then I conclude that DRM is the best answer, with a requirement that the booksellers establish a migration path for those who want to switch devices. I see this as quite sensible and achievable. Whats not sensible is attack the publishers and booksellers for the current arrangement, while pretending that their current concerns are unreal.
